Send me 4 sacks salt to care of J. A. Worth—Fayette-ville—
Unless yon think it will reach me here by R. R.
I prefer that it be sent here, if it is pretty certain to come
throngii withont delay.
I have sent the two blank $3 bills to Lawson to sign
and forward to you,
Xothing new save what yon will see in papers.
The Govr. told me to-day that he wonld w^rite to Sec.
of War before he leaves on next tour. All well.
[P. S.]—Jnst as I had finished this letter yonr package
arrived, containing $22,500 old issue.—The amt you cer-tified
as being on hand on 1st Apl was $4:1,300—half of
which is $20,650, which sum, together with the $1200
from Walton I send you this day by Express. You will
have to send enough old issue to get your $15000 in Con.
6 per cent bonds—to-wit $13,150 more.

the early future of this Comitry, whether our arms were
successful or unsuccessful : but present universal misery
and destrfiction stare every body in the face. I have as

and the scarcely less accursed Secessionists who
brought on this war, and would trust neither. The election
